It's not a "if you build it they will come" sort of thing--you have to put a lot of effort if you want to use twitter effectively. You also have to know which accounts are good to follow and which ones will just continuously spam you with stuff. <br><br>Every day I have new followers who are probably just bots. I'd love to read articles on how you find _real_ people to connect to on Twitter XD A lot of what I see with twitter now is that people are trying to jump on and use it as a business marketing tool, but they're doing so without a set plan or even purpose.

I can't remember the last time that I used Bloglines, but it must have been several years ago. As both a FriendFeed and a Facebook user, I'm hopeful that the new Facebook employees will be used to spruce up Facebook's interface to make it more suitable for in-depth conversations.
